I flera år (jag kommer inte ihåg hur många) har min kompis Kate sytt täcken till organisationen Ovarian Cancer, Australia (livmoder cancer). Dessa täcken auktioneras ut och pengarna går till stöd och forskning. Varje täcke har haft ett särskilt tema och den genomgående färgen har varit blågrön. Runt hela världen har quiltare hjälpt henne att sy rutor till dessa täcken! HÄR kan du läsa mer om dessa täcken!
For many years (I don´t remember how many) my friend Kate has been making quilts for the organisation Ovarian Cancer, Australia. These quilts have then been sold on an auktion and the money goes to support research. Every quilt has its own theme and the color has always been teal. All around the world there are quilters helping her to sew blocks for these quilts! HERE you can read more about the quilts!
I år är temat brev (temat bygger på en ordlek på engelska, svår att översätta). Jag har sytt två rutor med kuvert. Dessutom ska jag sy en ruta med ett vykort på. Detta vykort ska bli lite speciellt, för årets täcke är till minne av min mamma, som dog i livmodercancer 2009. Därför går jag fortfarande och grunnar på hur det ska se ut!
This year the theme is letters (Signed, Tealed, Delivered). I have sewn two blocks with envelops on. I am also gonna sew a block with a postcard. I want this postcard to be extra speciell, because this years quilt is dedicated to my mum, who died in ovarian cancer 2009. That´s why I still haven´t started sewing it, but I will!

Beautiful and what a lovely reason for stitching. I am sure your mum will be watching over you and admiring what you stitch in her honour. xx

Ooh, Gun, lovely! Such beautiful fabrics.
We are proud and happy to celebrate the life of your dear Barbro with this quilt. Can you tell me the year she was born, for the label?
GillaGilla
Thank you! My mother was born in 1932. Actually she was born on the first of April 🙂 We had so much fun, finding jokes to give her among all the other birthday presents. She always pretended to be fooled, but I guess she know 🙂

The Husband’s mother was born on the same day, 1st April. She has a similar problem! Thank you for the dates of your mother’s life, I shall put them on the label.
